Trumpet Lessons in Rio Vista, TX

Instruments: Trumpet

For beginning students, I normally start with Essential Elements then move onto Schlossberg and Irons for tone and flexibility; then I start them on the Clarke studies 1st and 2nd studies. I emphasize finger exercises, flexibility, tone, and sight reading. Once the student is advanced enough I start teaching appropriate literature. For adults, I assess their level, and adjust to them, as well as introduce more difficult exercises and literature for them. Read More

For beginner students, I often use the Essential Elements series, or a similar book. Work on fundamentals should be regular. Some of the books I like to use for this are: Clarke, Schlossberg, Bai Lin, Irons, Stamp, and more. Solos and etude books are important to work out of as well. Early etude books include Getchell and Small, and later etude books include Bousquet, Longinotti, Brandt, and Charlier. The Arban's book is also something trumpeters and brass players should be familiar with. Read More

There are also videos on youtube demonstrating my wide range, and ability on the trumpet. My husband and I recently got back from a trip to Holland Michigan, where we were part of the street performer line up. It was a lot of fun sharing my music through trumpet, guitar and vocal on the streets. I look forward to meeting and teaching you. My life has been a blessing and I look forward to meeting and teaching you as you become a little musician, or just play for fun with no major goals in front of you. Read More
